With a soft top you actually get a usable trunk.... and modern soft tops are so good <but slow to operate> they can easily be an all year car.

pluck the two hairs

no no... she said she feels like sleeping with a teenager......

some of us prefer a ragtop

Even the Torrent is at least on par with the CRV

You've gotta be kidding me. There are 8 shades of gray in that thing! and you're saying it is "clearly" superior to these? I don't think it's "clearly" superior to any of these. Sure the turn signal lever might have a nicer feel to it... but come on. What are you smoking and do you intend to share?

OMG TEH RADIO ISN"T INTEGRATED INTO THE CENTER STACK! MORE GM CRAPPOLA BUILD QUALITY! GM IS THE SUXORS! oh... it's a honda? Never mind.

smart move choice is good

security chip in the key, or the reader in the ignition is going bad

To save yourself $30k compared to a new M5?

have they cut the road and engine noise down to a level where the radio is usable?

sorry, I literally LOLed at this one. I never had a problem as a kid with opening my own door and not banging the car next to me. We had a Dodge Colt Vista which was about as mini-van as you could get without the sliding doors.

I'm sure there are still some Terrazas out there for sale. If you want "value" pricing. Don't shop a Buick. I don't understand where people have such an issue with car doors at malls. I never have a problem parking the Avalanche at the mall with 4 friends in it. But then again, I'm not talking on the cell phone, playing with the iPod, checking the Nav screen, and syncing my PDA while I'm trying to park either. If you pay attention it shouldn't be an issue.

didn't it actually beat the RX in sales one year?

you're not fooling anyone saying that the reason you booked Rehoboth is because OC is full. :AH-HA_wink:

once again Fly shows why he's the boss.

all he has to do is drive an hour and half south

You're a strange little man. BTW... for today... Pants off!

Ever sign up for something, but not really pay attention to it? I've had a US Airways Frequent flyer account for years now and I also have the Credit card that goes with it. I've never bothered checking my mileage balance until tonight.... I have two free domestic flights or one flight to Europe! So... San Diego + second trip to some other city? or Koln Germany with a trip to the Nurgburgring?

I'm wondering if you guys do this to. There are certain cars that, with my eyes closed, I can identify simply by noises they make. List the car and describe the sounds that you can identify. Honda 4-cylinders - sound on startup Mitsubishi 4-cylinders - sound when engine revs <they have a very unique whine to them> Chrysler FWD automatics - sound when decelerating to a stop. GM 3800s - start up, engine rev GM Quad4 with low oil - has a very unique engine knock after it's been abused. Ford 302s - very unique, unrefined, start up sound Northstar V8 - unique startup sound GM 5.3 - idle... though I'm not sure that I've not mistaken a 6.0 for a 5.3

not disputing, but where do you see epsilon?

Mini? Porsche? Hummer?

wait... the GXP/Redline automatics are faster than the manuals?
